Alabama's outburst against BYU in the Sweet 16 is one for the record books.

With his ninth 3-pointer of the game Thursday night, Alabama's All-America guard Mark Sears pushed the Crimson Tide to 22 for the game, a new record for 3-pointers in the NCAA tournament.

Sears' 3-pointer with 7:41 remaining extended Alabama's lead to 97-76 and gave the Crimson Tide plenty of time to pile on to their record.
